Primary development of
FD-PDE Framework
- The FD-PDE framework uses finite difference staggered grids for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) for single-/two-phase flow magma dynamics and other applications in geodynamics.
- The framework is based on PETSc. Governing equations are discretized as object PDEs (i.e., FDPDE Type), and the user only specifies coefficients, constitutive equations, and boundary conditions.
- Models: mid-ocean ridge dynamics, melt extraction, small-scale convection.
